Progress!

What a great day! First off, I started on Fiona's arms, wiring them and then referring to the Moulin Rouge pamphlet concerning her finger nails. Surprisingly, the ladies have relatively short and unpainted nails! Perhaps this is because of the frequent costume changes? So I selected a pale pink for the bear's claws.

And Willow? She's doing great, with the bandages off. You can't beat this view from my chair in the studio!

After lunch, I felt it was the right time to try Fiona's nose and Wow! It's always a surprise for me when a nose turns out nice on the first try! Noses are so tricky... Her's became a very classic shape on her rather pointed snout, very fitting for her character. Then she got her red-lipsticked lips and brown eyes, just like her namesake. While she's not ready for her close-up yet, here are all the body parts, almost ready for assembly! (There are two sets of ears because I'm not sure of the size so I made a smaller pair just in case and painted the inner ears all in one shot.)

Welcome dear readers!

This blog was originally started to share with you my inspirations, preparations and creative spirit as I brought to life the critters that make up Scratching at the Window! However, I've literally taken a flying leap and opened The Flying Leap Bed & Breakfast! So this blog is still about motivation and reaching goals, but with it I hope to share all our creative endeavours as a new entrepreneur in the B&B business as well as a soft sculpture artist. Enjoy!
